Exhibit In Dyche---
Mining Work Speeded By Fluorescent Lighting
Uses of fluorescent lighting in war is illustrated in the demonstration of fluorescent and phosphorescent properties of minerals in a display in the basement of Dyche museum.
Discovering the presence of tungsten in minerals by the has proved to be a war-time asset to the is $ ^{6} $
Just why some minerals will fluoresce and others will not remains unknown. The belief exists that the property is due to impurities in the mineral.
Discovering the presence of aid of fluorescence has proved United States. The country is now practically self-sufficient in producing the mineral, while about ten years ago, three-quarters of our supply came from China. In manufacturing war supplies such as armor plate, armor-piercing shells, and high speed tools for steel working, tungsten is indispensable because of its ability to harden steel and resist heat.
The mineral scheite contains tungsten, and when placed under an ultra-violet light will give a fluorescent appearance. Miners have found scheite at night with the aid of ultra-violet lamps.
At the exhibit in Dyche, a special pale blue light shining on the minerals illustrates their fluorescent properties. Samples of sphalerite,
wurtzite, aragonite, fluorite, and celestite are especially phosphorescent. When looking at the minerals without the pale blue light turned on them, it is impossible to note their color changing qualities; as there is no way of distinguishing the property with the naked eye. Light from Mercury Lamps
ht from Mercury Lamps
In the display, the light comes from a special type of mercury-vapor lamp. This particular ray will pierce quartz, but not glass. One sees only a degree of the light actually there, since the eye is sensitive to only the colors below dark violet on the spectrum.
Oat-Burners Come Back
The mustang is taking the place of the jalopy out where the West begins. Indian Affairs Commissioner John Collier reports that his employees are using more than 125 saddle horses on 14 reservations to save gas and rubber.
Debaters To Use Navy For Topic
Students in Prof. E., C. Buehler's classes in debate are preparing a speech program as part of the policy of the student speakers' bureau on war information. These speakers have prepared talks upon how the navy makes history.
The students will give speeches at civic clubs, high school assemblies and grade schools in Douglas county. They will also be available to fill in part time for classroom lecture periods for any class which deals with related subject matter. Speeches are based upon wide research and are organized to give the maximum of information. They range from five to eight minutes in length.
The following subjects will be dealt with: "How Navies Have Made History in the Past," "The Present U. S. Navy," "Customs and Traditions Of The Navy," "Battleship and Fire Power," and "Air Force and Its Relation To Battleships."
Anyone wishing services of the student speakers' bureau on war information should see Professor Buehler.
War Influences Forensic Program
... BUY WAR STAMPS ...
Although stressing activities of the intramural type this year, the University will continue its forensic program, Prof. E. C. Buehler, debate coach, said yesterday. The number of out-of-town trips will be reduced, however, Professor Buehler indicated.
The Missouri Valley Forensic League will continue as usual. The annual Delta Sigma Rho tournament will also be held at Iowa University, and the University will hold a number of dual debates with neighboring schools.
Throughout the nation, activity in the debate field is being intensified in many places on the theory that now, more than ever, is the time for clear, concise thinking. In order to correlate this theory with the war effort, universities are making their maximum contribution to the future world problems by training the mind and education people as to world problems at the same time, Professor Buehler pointed out.
"There isn't any story in the world that is good enough to justify risking the life of a single American soldier." -Raymond Daniell, London correspondent of the New York Times.
